His ecumenical work has included developing the influential course, Prayer and Life in the Spirit, with Sister Agnes Cunningham, giving the McManis Lectures at Wheaton College, lectures at Luther 神学院 in St. Paul，和 Adolf Olson Lectures at Bethel Theological 神学院. 他的书 Alive in Christ, Alert to Life had its beginning in the lectures given at Bethel. 另外, he gave lectures at the International Parish Nurse Resource Center and served as the Dickie 访问or in Religious Studies at St. Paul’s School in Concord, N.H.

Weborg’s baptismal faith came to confirmation in the Covenant church of his birthplace in Pender, Nebr. Early Covenant Pietism was the “nursery” which formed and shaped his interior roots and intellectual direction. His two dissertations in the area of Lutheran Pietism, “The Eschatological Ethics of Johann Albrecht Bengel” and “Spener’s Doctrine of the Church,” continued to extend the branches of this early interest.

Before joining the North Park faculty, Weborg served the Evangelical Covenant Church in the ministry of Word and Sacrament in Peoria, 生病了.宾夕法尼亚州斯普林豪斯.以及伊利诺伊州的普林斯顿. Much of his writing faithfully fed and watered the denomination through monthly columns in 契约伴侣 magazine, articles in the 圣约家坛，和 约每季度.
